Considering what I’ve heard about their network, this smells like a way to bail out of a failure while saving face

IIRC didn’t Tesla start building their network when there wasn’t really a standard, and who was still going to win was up in the air? Seems like a good investment, but now that things have settled, creating your own network is really just a vanity project. Tesla opening up their network is smart, they were one of the two winners in North America, so opening up the network gives them a new revenue stream, and I’d be surprised if’n they don’t find a way to leverage those chargers to drive sales.

Well there is .floorp and .var/floorp for it’s files, so I’m really not sure what they did, I suspect they left a few code calls to something Mozilla and that’s where the problem lays

This is the second time I’ve tried Floorp, and a far bigger failure than last time.

I suspect he will come to regret this, the Chinese aren’t stupid, and will be happy to slit his throat once they’ve got what they need.

MrPhibb, 3 months ago

Yes, but knowing China, they’ll be happy to supply Tesla, while selling knock-off parts and quality control failures under their own brand to anyone who wants them, at least until they get their own operation up and running to make their own cars, a process a lot easier when you’re in the country, something Tesla will be facilitating.

If you’re going to drink that much coffee, look at St Louis Bread Co/Panera Bread, their Sip Club makes it cheap. $13/mo, and large cold drinks are around $3.25, so it doesn’t take long for the membership to pay for itself, and as I’m a courier, it definitely saves me money. That said, support local if you can.

Interesting, I’m running LM:DE, and haven’t had any problems, on first start up it offers up a selection of things I might want to do including loading proprietary drivers. So far I have it running on multiple computers, including two POS terminals that were never meant to be used as computers.

Knowing Canoo, six is all they can come up with for the test. I like their smaller van, and even have some money invested in them, but they’re not looking like a real company at this point, they’re years behind on production, not transparent at all about how many vehicles they’ve made, but they love to announce the deals they’ve made with WalMart, NASA, USPS, OK and more. This van is actually one of their newer designs, I think they created it on request by WalMart.

Their other van is better looking, same front end, and a nearly identical rear end, but less capacity. It’s kinda odd that USPS are going with these as I think the standard van is big enough.

MrPhibb, 3 months ago

Indeed, but the odd part is that I think the capacity on these is half way between a full sized van and a step van, which is a big jump for USPS, the current LLVs are on the high side of a minivan IIRC, making me wonder what’s up.

That seems to be easy for them based on my experience with their vehicles over the years.

Could be the strong competition in China, there’s a lot of electric car choices there, more than any other country IIRC

I sorta understood that, but nothing research can’t answer. I know just enough extra about computers to really bork things. 😜

Attached is a pic of the BIOS, and I think you can see what I mean about it not being the real BIOS

Hmmm, interesting idea, I’ll think about it, thanks.

Usually I just take a screenshot, I have no idea why I did a photo this time.
